I am saying nine Republicans voted for Sotomayor, and five voted for Kagan. Plus the GOP worked so they didn’t have to face a messy cloture vote. For the most part, it is establishment types running this cycle so can you say Justice Holder?

So, I guess I'll ask it again. And then what? Republicans take control of the House and Senate and then what? Nothing. But the Pollyannas are convinced that big, big things will happen. Mitch will roll up his sleeves and boy oh boy, he and Thad and Cornyn and McCain and Graham will make magic!

Now, cure Ann Archy and the other FR We must take the Senate no matter what crowd to tell us how the world will come to and end if we dont. If you're going to take a cheap potshot at another FReeper, at least have the courtesy to Ping her.
Ping.

I am saying that OBAMA wants appoint Eric Holder to the US Supreme Court, aaaND you were saying..?
Really???
When was the last time you remember or can document when ALL of the Republicans voted against a Democrat-nominated Supreme Court Justice?

You’ll be preparing? Preparing for what? Armed revolt? An independent “libertarian” candidate who is probably a charlatan, or a stealth candidate?
Look, the “R’s” have clearly not covered themselves in glory over the last ten years or so, but the Dems are so vile and so evil and so anti-American, that to not vote strategically to block them is just insane.
To: Lumper20
Agree 100%. Obama won in 2012 by 73,000 votes. Which does not mean a lot, Bush won in 2000 with a negative popular vote.
The numbers that count are: Obama 332, Obama lite (Romney) 206 electoral votes.

You don't get it.
The very people I refuse to vote for, and you are pressuring everyone else to vote for, are the very same people that will vote for Holder out of what they call principle.
There are real consequences for not exercising your vote outside of conservative principle.

It wasn’t meant for you personally, it was meant for those that think voting for democrats to send a message to the GOPe is a brilliant strategy. Like you I would rather be beheaded by ISIS than vote democrat and want nothing to do with conservatives who advance Marxism with deviant strategies like voting for democrats.

The Republicans have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. Republicans don't want to change the system - they just want to be first in line to get the loot.
That is why they fight the Tea Party and conservatives harder than they fight democrats.
If they win the senate they will do just what they did in the eight years Bush was president:
Pig out at the trough and stuff their pockets and the pockets of their pals.

What good things did the GOP do for the country when they controlled both houses of Congress and the White House during Bush's first term? IMO that is a secondary question, the core question being:
"Which party can better help us realize the American Dream?"
My answer: I would rather work to perfect the Republican party than try to convert the socialist D party.
One who refuses to vote for the lesser of two evils is, in essence, voting for the greater of two evils.

I know, but this site is receiving a lot of anti-Republican posts. Maybe because FreeRepublic is not a Republican forum. Ever consider that? Duh...

If someone can and make a difference between Obama having control of the senate his last two years and they don’t vote, they’re a damned idiot.
They trust Obama a lot more than I do. And they haven’t seen anything yet now that he doesn’t have to be concerned with any more elections. He will bring a wrecking ball to this nation. I believe some on here may want that.

In many cases, that is a distinction without moral difference.

Don’t forget, if Romney had been in office when Newtown happened the RINO’s would have been all over themselves backing new firearms restrictions and Romney, as president, would have signed them.
Personally, I lean toward your thinking on this subject, and having Barry in the executive china shop was instrumental in making sure about 10-20 million additional rifles got into the general populace along with mountains of ammo...
I’ll vote, for sure, and most likely for the R’s out here in CA unless there’s a viable Constitutional or Libertarian candidate for my district, but I don’t place any confidence in all but a few R’s to stand by our principles (note “our” too, we’re not electing them to stand by “their principles” we’re electing them to represent OUR principles!).
